Re: [Flashcoders] loadmovie

[Marc Hoffman]

Jonathan,

Sorry, but as far as AS2, you're wrong. A loaded movie inherits the 
properties of the clip it's loaded into. Test it yourself. Create 
circle.swf, a movie of a round circle. Create a base movie with two 
loaders (loader1 and loader2)  based on a square mc. Code it like this:



loader2._xscale = 50;
loader1.onRelease = function(){
this.loadMovie("circle.swf");
}
loader2.onRelease = function(){
this.loadMovie("circle.swf");
}


Test the base movie. loader1 loads the circle as a circle. loader2 
loads it as an elipse half as wide as it is high.

Re: [Flashcoders] loadmovie

[jonathan howe]

And if you are loading it into a clip that you've set _xscale + _yscale on,
the movie replaces those properties when it's loaded. loadMovie essentially
replaces the movie it's called from, wiping its properties.

Re: [Flashcoders] loadmovie

[Marc Hoffman]

Theodore,

How was holder_lesson created? If it has been scaled up from some 
other mc, the loaded movie will also be scaled up. Best to use a 
non-scaled clip as a holder. AS2 example:


this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_lesson",this.getNextHighestDepth());
holder_lesson._x = 10; // or wherever you want to place it
holder_lesson._y= 10; // or wherever you want to place it
holder_lesson.loadMovie("lessons/" + _root.wlesson + ".swf");

As Bob mentioned, you can also resize after loading but you must wait 
until the onLoadInit event has fired. In AS2 you'd use 
MovieClipLoader class to handle this.


Marc

the problem is the movie is maxing to the size of the swf and not the

I am even trying to resize it:

holder_lesson._width = 967;
holder_lesson._height = 572;
holder_lesson._x = 3;
holder_lesson._y = 23;

Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie from subdirectory - change base path

[Juan Pablo Califano]

If you don't want to change the code in every screen swf that loads an xml 
(or it's too much manual work), you might just change how the load() 
function of the XML object, modifying its prototype. Keep in mind, however, 
that this is a bit of a "hack" ( It might be worth going for it but it'd be 
a bad choice if you were starting a fresh project...) For that reason, if 
you choose to do it, I'd advise documenting it very clearly, as the idea is 
to alter the original functionality of the function in a non-intuitive and 
most certainly unexpected way for anyone not related to the project.


Well, the idea is this. The load function expects one parameter, a url. You 
have hardcoded that parameter with something like "../some.xml" in most of 
your screen swf. So, you'd basically, store a reference to the original 
function, then overwite it and access it from a custom function through the 
reference you've just saved. In your custom function you can parse the url, 
to strip the "../" part. A simple myString.split("/")[1] will probably be 
enough to get the job done. The, with that url, you call the original load 
function and one part of the problem is solved...


However, if you load xmls from other locations, you might get into similar 
"routing" problems (for instance, you're loading an xml from your main swf, 
and that swf passes to load() "some.xml" instead of "../some.xml". A quick 
and dirty solution to that could be changing the urls in your main and add 
"../" to the url. With a find and replace it shouldn't be too much work as 
all calls would be in just one file. Another solution could be adding an 
extra param to you "overloaded" XML.load() function, to indicate if the url 
should be taken "as is" or if it should be parsed in order to strip the 
"../" part.


I haven't tried it with the XML object, but once I have to do something like 
this with de loadMovie method of the MovieClip object and it worked.


The code was along these lines, I'm pasting it here so you get the idea, and 
if it makes sense to you, you might adapt.


var refLoadMovie:Function;

function hijackLoadMovie():Void {
refLoadMovie = MovieClip.prototype.loadMovie;
MovieClip.prototype.loadMovie = customLoadMovie;
}
function customLoadMovie (url:String,useUrlAsIs:Boolean):Void {
// implement the logic you need to deal with "spoiled" urls here,
// or use them as is if true is passed as a second param
refLoadMovie(url);
}

hijackLoadMovie();
stager_mc.loadMovie("some.swf");


Cheers
Juan Pablo Califano

Subject: [Flashcoders] loadMovie from subdirectory - change base path



Hello Flashcoders,

I'm trying to make a main movie ("controller.swf") that loads other movies
("screen1.swf", "screen2.swf", etc), which are stored in a subdirectory
called "screens".

In controller.swf I'm using loadMovie("screens/screenx.swf") to load the
movies from the "screens" subdirectory, and this works fine. But the 
problem

is that the movies in the "screens" subdirectory often reference XML files
(which also live in the "screens" subdirectory). All works well when you
play the individual screenx.swf files, obviously, but when you play
controller.swf, it is looking for the XML files in the same directory as
itself (one directory "up").

How can I fix this problem so that playing controller.swf works fine, as
well as playing each individual screenx.swf file in the "screens"
subdirectory? Is this possible? It seems like such a simple idea, but I'm 
so

stumped.

I should mention that this project is not actually going online - it is
going to be converted to an EXE using Zinc and distributed via CD. So I
can't use absolute paths.

Please! Heelp! Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie from subdirectory - change base path

[Hans Wichman]

Hi,
i think this applies to using an html file in location a loading an swf from
location b.
Seeing Amanda has two different basepaths, setting the base to nr 1 will
confuse nr 2 and vice versa.

Copying everything to the same directory like Bob said seems a good and
simple solution though:).

Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie from subdirectory - change base path

[Glen Pike]

Can you use the "base" attribute in the params to set somewhere that you 
can then use relative paths.

Hi,
You need to keep duplicate files if you want it to work as single and also
when loaded from main movie.
Easiest way is to create an xml directory at the place where the main movie
resides and set the path as "xml/1.xml"

also copy this directory in the screens directory

so ths ame path will work for both :)

the mask begins at frame 10 as does the clip that i'm trying to load the
jpg
into...

before i load the jpg i goto frame 10 so it should be a valid clip at that
point, but that's when i get the target errors,
i moved the clip i'm loading into to frame 1 and the error goes away, but
no
jpg


???

[Alain Rousseau]

and what are you tracing exactly ? that's only the result.
But at first glance Target looks like a file path and not a clip path to me

here's what the output window is spitting out...

Target not found: Target="/screen_container/card1/image_container"
Base="_level0.screen_container.card1.image_container"

the clip is on the stage...which this trace confirms

image container: _level0.screen_container.card1.image_container

Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question

[eric dolecki]

it sounds like you might be targeting the main clip and not the nested clip
beneath the mask.

mc >
mc.mask, mc.holder_mc (empty) - beneath the mask on a layer

mc.holder_mc.loadMovie("foo.jpg");

- should be affected by the mask layer inside of the mc movieclip

RE: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question

[Alain Rousseau]

Yes or use the MovieClipLoader class

var mLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mLoader.load(movieclip_a.masked, "image.jpg");

If you load your jpeg to a depth of 0 it might overwrite the masked
movieClip and thus you lose the mask as for the skewing, have you rotated or
modified your clips inside the IDE before applying your modifications ? this
might affect the actual way it is resized. Othewise I'm with you ... this is
indeed weird.
You might have to rebuild a new Flash file if this persists ...

RE: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question

[Alain Rousseau]

You should try masking your movieclip through code, as you are loading into
it with code :

movieclip_a.masked.setMask(movieclip_a.mask);
then your masked movieClip should remain masked even if you load a jpeg
inside it.

I say should, but I've not tested this precise setup ...

RE: [Flashcoders] loadMovie in a duplicated movieclip

[Don]

Hi Jason,

I've put buttons in the duplicated movieclips, and they always trace back as
+level0.button_28 or whatever the button number was when created...

I've also traced every variable coming from menu_ds and they all work as
they should... The while loop and the hasNext() come right out of the help
files when iterating through a dataset, I had never used either before.

I think the next step is to look into creating an empty movieclip and
attaching from the library...  This is just too much headache to be worth
it...

Thanks for your time...

Don

Well, to dig deeper, it's hard to comment because I don't know what
"_root.menu_ds.hasNext()" does, or how "_root.menu_ds.Type" is set, or how
"dupButton" is determined.  There could be any number of things wrong there.
Why are you using a while loop out of curiosity?  Also, I usually avoid
duplicateMovieClip because I always see people complain about it - either
buggy or it's limitations.  For those situations, I usually create an empty
movie clip and attach from the library.  Not saying that's the right
approach, just what I have found works best for me in most situations.

eval() is the old way, Adobe is pushing Actionscript to sctrict ECMA
specifications, which means using the [] operator instead.  If
"this[newName]" doesn't work, then something is wrong with the scope, and I
don't know where your clips are set up relative to that statement.
Have you tried sprinkling some traces in your code to find out what's
failing and where?

[Don]

Sorry Jason, I was typing from memory, not copy / paste...

this[newName]._x = menu_ds.HorizontalPos;

Doesn't work for me, and the only reason I ended up using eval() is because
it's the only thing that worked!

This code doesn't work...

duplicateMovieClip(dupButton, newName, i);
this[newName]._x = menu_ds.HorizontalPos;
this[newName]._y = menu_ds.VerticalPos;

I scoured the net and eval() was the only answer I could find...

I'm publishing Flash 8, AS2

Thanks...

Improper syntax.  Try:

Also, would recommend against using eval() in this case and use the []
operator instead.

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library

Bart,

I think I will be forced to use the bitmap class of flash 8 to take a bitmap
of the imported assets and copy thos bitmaps on to the stage :-s
  

Serious monkey business ;)

Wouldn't it be easier to just import either the videos or the masks as

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library

[Bart Albrecht]

I think I will be forced to use the bitmap class of flash 8 to take a bitmap
of the imported assets and copy thos bitmaps on to the stage :-s
This has 2 big disadvantages:
- processor overkill, first load a movieclip into a container, take a bitmap
copy of that movieclip, create new movieclip, put that bitmap into the new
movieclip, remove the movieclip from the container (imagine this for 500
assets ...)
- the quality of a bitmap is not that of a vector, so I will have to make
the vector movieclips quit big so I don't lose to much detail when I make a
bitmap and a user scales his window to a bigger screen.

I'm getting disappointed by Flash, how old is this program? And you can
still don't have a good working runtime external library.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library

[Bart Albrecht]

Tony,
> You just have to access them from the scope they where born to.
I can access them indeed in the scope where they are created. But the
problem is that I can't add other assets (movieclips) to that scope. 

I want this because I want to separate code from viewing assets, and import
different templates. 
I want for example to put my video object on the scope of my imported assets
so I can mask my video object. I want to use a mask of the imported assets
and I want to put some imported assets like a shadow border on top of my
video. This is only possible if I get my video object on the same scope as
the imported assets or if I get the assets that I want on top of the video
object in a different movieclip (duplicatemovieclip).

That doesn't mean you can't use loaded movie library assets. You just 
have to access them from the scope they where born to.

Bart,

I don't find a
solution where I can get my movieclips away of the library container to some
movieclip on the main.swf.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library

[Bart Albrecht]

Hi Naz,

I tried that but it also didn't help because I need to put some mc of my
main.swf between some library assets on the stage. And I don't find a
solution where I can get my movieclips away of the library container to some
movieclip on the main.swf.
I also tried swapDepths, but that also didn't help.

How about if you loadMovie your entire "Library" SWF into your main SWF, 
then access your library files via "mainSWF.librarySWF.libraryAsset" syntax?

Not sure, but you may have to create instances of your library asset on the 
stage and name them properly...

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library

[Bart Albrecht]

Thx for your reaction.
Unfortunately a shared library for each movieclip, would result in over 1000
swf's and this all for just calling some movieclips from an external
library, is overkill I think.
I hope there is still a better way for doing this.

First of all, try MovieClipLoader to load your swf's..

If you don't want to use a runtime shared library, then I'd suggest  
making each movieclip you want to load at runtime a separate swf.

You can export MovieClips directly from your library.

also, as long as it is set to export for actionscript, you can attach  
any MC you want, to any other MC you want at runtime.

What I want to do is load movieclips in my main.swf from a

I also try to put a movieclip which I loaded from the library.swf

I cannot make use of the shared library because the name of the

Here is the code:

works.

Where I load a circleRoot mc from the library of the current swf to  
the

controller_mc. This does not work.

Where I load a circle mc from the library.swf onto the current

}



Is there perhaps an other way to load external movieclips from an

(library.swf) onto the root of the main.swf?

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem?

[Dhiraj Girdhar]

Hi Jason,

Again thanks for your reply.
But still my doubt is not clear. Please check the following
code...

// Code on first movie clip.
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Test", 1);
_root.Test.loadMovie("clip.swf", _root);

// Introducing a dummy time interval to wait until SWF file is not
loaded.
_root.$SI = setInterval(_root.func, 10);
function func () {
if ((_root. Test.getBytesLoaded() == _root.
Test.getBytesTotal())
&& _root. Test._height > 0 && _root. Test._width
> 0) {
// Going to second page in loaded movie.
_root.Test.gotoAndStop(2);
clearInterval(_root.$SI);
_root.$SI = undefined;
}
}

// code in second movie clip.
// Displaying the name of the movie clip creating in first clip to load
the clip.
trace(_root.Test._name);

Now it will work fine. But in case of loading the movie in root it is
not working. It will load its first page only. Please let me know if I
am not able to clear the problem.

Well, a couple of reasons.  I mean you can, it's possible, but the
reason for container clips is so you have the ability to load more than
one clip. If you load into _root, everything in that movie clip will be
replaced by the new clip you are loading in, and if you try and load a
second clip into _root, only the second clip will appear, the first clip
will be overwritten:

loadMovie("clip1.swf", _root);
loadMovie("clip2.swf", _root);
//only clip2.swf will appear

And loading from c:, I can't see how that would be wise in almost any
circumstance, but maybe you have a reason to do so.  

As for _root itself, a lot of people will tell you its not wise to
reference it, because as Flash applications gain hierarchies, _root
changes often and is not a reliable reference to hard code into your
application.

I don't mean to be harsh, only to answer your questions.  Hope that
helps.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem?

[Merrill, Jason]

This line:

_root.Test.loadMovie("clip.swf", _root);

Should either be:

Test.loadMovie("clip.swf");

or

loadMovie("clip.swf", Test);

(and drop the use of "_root" gollygoshdarnnit!)

You have instead combined both methods.  By stating the movieClip name first 
and then LoadMovie, the second paramter is not needed.  If you don't state the 
movieClip being loaded into first and then LoadMovie, then you do need the 
second paramter to tell it where to load the movie clip in to.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem?

[Dhiraj Girdhar]

Hey Jason,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry, it was just a typo mistake ("C:\\
pages.swf"). I just want to know problems of loading the SWF file on
root movie. Creating a new movie clip and loading that SWF file in that
will solve the purpose but it is not clearing my doubt.

Let me explore this problem in more detail.
If I am loading the movie clip in some other movie clip (except root)
then the control will be still in previous movie. But I want the control
in new movie clip which I am going to load. Is it making any sense?
Please correct if I am wrong.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem?

[Dhiraj Girdhar]

Hi,

Please tell me, what is the main problem with loading the movie
on root?
I tried another solution i.e. loading in some other movie which is
working fine but I don't know the reason. :(
Please clear my doubts.

this is complete nonsesnse, take a look to the manual,

first, not sure if loadMovie to _root is proper solution,

create new movieClip, and load to it
and most important: you have to wait for the movie being loaded, which
is 
the hardCore and basic knowledge for every flash programmer :-)

Hi All,



I am trying to load a new SWF file on root movie clip using following
action script code, but it is not working properly. It is loading its
first frame only. But the SWF file (to be loaded) is having more than
one pages.



loadMovie("C:\\ pages.swf", _root);

_root.gotoAndStop(3);



Any solution?

Dhiraj

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem with JPEGs

Not sure the setup but the vars are getting wiped away for sure so its
some kinda scoping issue.Loading the movieclip into "this" should wipe the
variables out. Loading them into an emptymovieclip, shouldn't.





class ui.overlay extends EventClip{
// not sure what eventClip is but whatever..

  private var holder_mc:MovieClip;
  private var text:String;

  public function overlay(){
 holder_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc",1);
  }

  public function showImage(url:String,text:String){

holder_mc.loadMovie(url);
this.text=text;
trace("TEXT has been set"+this.text);
_delegate = EventDelegate.create(this, onHitDataGrid);
datagrid.addEventListener("datagrid", _delegate);


  }
  public function onHitDataGrid(obj:Object){
trace("TEXT has been set"+this.text);
  }

}

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem with JPEGs

You'll need a holder of sorts:

ImageHolder movieclip that holds all the info including the ImageMC
which actually displays the picture

Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question

[Simon Lord]

Thanks, finally got it working.




Just to expand on that,

loadMovie loads an external SWF or JPG (and more in Flash 8) into a  
MovieClip.


attachMovie loads a "named" MovieClip from your flash library into  
a MovieClip.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loadmovie and sounds

[Andrey Scherbakov]

attachSound() - method which attached sound object from library
if want load sound you must use method loadSound()

if you say gotoAndPlay("step2") in event onSoundComplete() - you say
it objSound but not you movie
use link to movie clip, example:

var objSound = new Sound();
var handler = this; //link to movie clip with label "step2"

objSound.attachSound("step1")
objSound.start(0, 0)
objSound.onSoundComplete = function(){
 handler.gotoAndPlay("step2")
}
stop();
